Cross That Line by Howard Jones
Cross That Line is an album by Howard Jones, released in 1989. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Everlasting Love”, on 2 lists with a best position of #35.
Cross That Line, the fourth studio album from English synth-pop tinkerer Howard Jones, came out on Elektra on 20 March 1989, five years after Human's Lib had taken him to number one on the UK albums chart. Jones co-produced it with Ian Stanley, Chris Hughes and Ross Cullum, and the synths now share the room with a warmer, more rock-minded band sound, earnest and bright-eyed as ever.
The funny thing is where it landed. America took to it, sending "Everlasting Love" to number 12 and "The Prisoner" to number 30, while back home in Britain neither the singles nor the album caught on. "Powerhouse" got a Danny D remix for the clubs, and a remastered CD with extra tracks followed in 2012.
